Laundry

For some reason Ashlyn is obessed with everything to do with laundry. She loves laundry baskets, she helps me put clothes away (well kind of), and she is amazed with the washing machine and dryer. I just hope she is this excited about laundry when she is a teenager!

Beach

We took Ashlyn to the beach for the very first time a couple of weeks ago. Aaron had a job to look at and it just happened to be a Monday so Ash and I were able to tag along. It was such a beautiful day and we even saw a black bear on our way up there which was really cool. I hadn't been to Ocean Shores is years and neither had Aaron. We decided our 5 anniversary might be a good time to return for a real visit, and so I got it all booked. We'll be staying at the Quinault Beach resort in about a month. Hopefully the sun will still be shining!

What a week!

It's official...Ashlyn is mobile! She started to crawl just shy of her 8 month birthday. She is also trying to pull herself up every chance she gets. She is EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING!! Wow, I can't turn my back for a second. And to top it off, she also got her first tooth and rode in the grocery cart like a big girl all in the same week! It was an eventful week to say the least. But for a girl who was teething, you would have hardly known. Maybe she was just too excited about everything else. Here are some videos and pictures from the big week...

Woohoo! I'm a big girl!

Climbing up the couch...and check out the motorboating she does..that's her new thing!
